The Ghost Wants Birthday Cake

This is one of my favorite scents from Sorce that i've tried so far, and I'm happy she's finally in the database :D The two strongest notes in this fragrance are peach and ginger to my nose. The other notes are well-blended and in my opinion, not super discernible. It smells like you're in the process of making a cake or tea or something, and you just cut up some peaches and ginger and threw it all in a bowl while everything else sits on the side. I've found that peach notes can be tricky in perfumes - sometimes they're too faint and sometimes they feel extremely artificial and syrupy or stale (TF bitter peach is my archnemesis). This is a good balance! It's not too cloying and sweet, but it's definitely present. I actually ordered a sample of A Sign Painted Peaches based on how much I liked the peach note here. I'd wear this throughout summer honestly but I think it'd be best for late summer/early fall :)

I got this in the late spring when the weather had turned warm, and it had that funkyness people describe. Based off sorce's website I think its a combination of the peach and barley. It wasn't bad, but not really what I wanted at the time. I think this works best in cold/milder weather. I have the oil and on my skin it opens very peach and ground spices and cake. If, cake means the dry ingredients in a bowl, with a bit of vanilla. I definitely smell wiffs of salty butter that compliments the peaches well. And the spices get a little softer over time. If you don't like cardamom or woods I don't think you'll like this, as that's mostly what it fades out to for me. The ginger makes the peach fresh while everything else turns it warm, its very unique, has a tang to it. I'm not much of a peach scent person but I like this one. I never really smell vanilla icecream, just vanilla.

I have the oil version, so I can’t speak to how it compares to the EDP. In this one, there is a photorealistic, not-quite-ripe peach. Sour, green, with a stem and leaf still attached. It sits next to a warm, gently spiced crumble topping (spice often tones down on my skin, and this is no exception), and maybe there is some cream in the background, but on me it's far less cake-and-ice-cream than the name might suggest. Instead, it's all about that tart peach, and I love it. The sharpness is glorious, and it layers beautifully with gourmands. It adds the kind of lift you’d get from a lemon and fresh-cut grass combo, but with a fruity twist that’s both mouthwatering and unexpected. It's FUN. I would definitely buy again and I want to get the EDP to compare one day.

Oh my, this smells so comforting and amazing, it feels like a warm hug. This is a spicy peachy cake scent, the cardamom is prominent but not sharp, it’s delicious! It’s not overly sweet so it’s super wearable. Definitely a fall and winter scent, but perhaps can get away with wearing it in the spring because of the peach.

Per Sorce’s website, this perfume contains butter co2 and I can definitely smell butter in this yum. On initial spritz this smells like orange zest, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, clove, buttercream, and bread. It is so impressive and I’d say a hall of fame gourmand.
